Functions of a Word Processor:

Text Editing- Text can be changed by deleting it, typing over it or by inserting additional text within it.

Word Wrap and Centering-  Words that extend beyond the right margin are wrapped around to the next line. Text can be centred between left and right margins.
Search and Replace, Move and Copy- Any occurence of text can be replaced with another block of text and move it elsewhere in the document or copy it throughout the document.
Layout Settings- Margins, tabs, line spacing, indents, font changes, underlining, boldface and italics can be set and reset anywhere within the document. 

Headers, Footers and Page Numbering- Headers and footers are common text printed on the top and bottom of every page. Headers, footers and page numbering can be set andreset anywhere within the document. Page numbering in optional Roman numerals or alphabetical letters is common.
